@TripTilt Dumm sein ist einfach, dumm sein erfordert nichts von dir, wenn du dumm bist hältst du dich meist für schlau.
Ich denke das Hauptproblem liegt darin, dass viele Menschen frustriert sind, über Job, Wohngegend, neue Trends, Unverständnis eines gesellschaftlichen Wandels oder ähnlichem was um sie herum in ihrer Welt passiert.
Da sie Dinge nicht verstehen/ ergründen oder hinterfragen können/ wollen, suchen sie nach zu kurz gedachten einfachen Antworten hierfür.

Over the last week or so, I’ve been telling the story of how, in the space of a decade, the Bavarian car-maker Glas advanced from the almost toy-like little Goggomobil to the Maserati-like V8 models. I’ve just discovered that I’ve got another photo of the original Goggo, which shows off its design better than the pic I previously posted. Snapped at the Bremen Classic Motor Show in 2014. Another Goggo treat tomorrow.

Trump Admin Threatens to Send Abrego Garcia to El Salvador Again
Donald Trump’s administration said it might try to deport Kilmar Abrego Garcia back to El Salvador if he successfully opens an asylum case.Naomi LaChance (Rolling Stone)
A federal judge Friday ruled against the #Trump admin from ending temporary #legal protections that have granted more than 1 million people from #Haiti & #Venezuela the right to live & work in the #US.
Chen said #DHS Secy [puppy dog killer] #KristiNoem’s actions in terminating & vacating 3 extensions granted by the previous admin exceeded her statutory #authority & were #arbitrary & #capricious.

@scy: Aber das ist doch unbequem, wenn darin die ganze Nati reisen will.
(Den verstehen vermutlich auch nicht alle. Hint: "Nati" — gesprochen "Natsi" — ist auch ein Helvetismus. Wikipedia kennt den sogar. 🙂)
Okay, ich hab mir mal die Mühe gemacht, dieses absolute Kult-#Piratenpartei-Meme mal rauszusuchen.
Das hier ist Nathanael Bienia, genannt Nati, beim Bundesparteitag 2010.1 in Bingen, am 15. Mai 2010. Das Originalfile ist hier: archive.org/details/Aufzeichnu…
Es geht um die Frage, ob ein Antrag zur Gliederung des Grundsatzprogramms vorgezogen wird. Siehe auch im Protokoll: wiki.piratenpartei.de/Bundespa…
Der Meme-Moment ist ab 01:35, aber auch das ganze Drumherum ist sehenswert, gerade für (Ex-)Pirat*innen.

Gibt’s die Piratenpartei eigentlich noch?
(Geil, das wollte ich schon immer mal fragen!)
Und was wohl aus Nati geworden ist?
